Tiene una vista muy hermosa hacia la laguna, es un lugar muy cálido, un poco alejado del centro en realidad, las personas amables, en cuanto a la habitación es bastante amplia un tanto cómoda y aunque no tiene aire acondicionado está fresca, ahí mismo tienen servicio de kayaks y de tours, la palapa está equipada con columpios, hamacas, y sillones, un dato interesante y muy padre para los amantes de los gatos es que hay unos muy preciosos y dóciles en la propiedad, es un plus.

Hermoso y práctico lugar , gente amable , cuartos limpios y sencillos aunque tiene poco moho en el techo. El muelle necesita un poco de mantenimiento y siempre hay lanchas ahí cual no te deja disfrutar del mismo.

Un lugar excelente para relajarse y salir de la rutina. Fui con dos amigos. Al llegar ya tenían lista la casa de campaña que habíamos reservado por internet. Nos dieron la bienvenida Scarlett y Yamil, los encargados, y nos mostraron el lugar. El alojamiento es muy sencillo y cómodo. Cuenta con una cocina comunitaria equipada, y perfecta para preparar cualquier alimento. Cuenta con un pequeño almacén para que cada tienda guarde su comida. Los baños también son comunitarios, durante nuestra estancia siempre se mantuvieron muy limpios. Las hamacas al atardecer son demasiado relajantes y ni hablar de la vista de la majestuosa laguna a cualquier hora del día. El ambiente en general es muy agradable. Nosotros dejamos el equipaje dentro de la casa con total confianza. Lugar súper recomendado.

A great experience staying here. I recommend one of the tents down by the lake. Waking up with that view and going for an early morning swim there is the best way to experience Bacalar. You're not too close to the town which can be a downside but I really think it's worth being further away and just focusing on that lake! It's incredible.

Excelente opción para hospedarse. Gran atención del dueño y los responsables, siempre atentos al huésped. Totalmente recomendable para conocer la bella laguna de Bacalar. Si vas sin planes ellos te pueden sacar de dudas. Volveremos sin duda.
